@DexterousTyrant Maybe I don't need your help. You ever think about that? You're my coach, not my therapist.

@DexterousTyrant -rolls his eyes, checking his tape before getting up off the bench and back to the bags; he won’t admit it, --

@DexterousTyrant — but Tony’s right and he knows it-

@DexterousTyrant -twenty minutes later, he's off the bags and running laps around the gym, distracting himself the only way he --

@DexterousTyrant -- know I'd do it. And I'd do a good job, I mean, I know your methods better than anybody. You think...anybody --

@DexterousTyrant -- would want me? As a coach?

Stark...actually wants me to train some of the guys? Am I bein' Punk'd?
